Open Data has become an important yet often overlooked part of the infrastructure of modern states. However, certain conditions must be met to unlock the potential of open data: Is there an existing legal framework? What does the technical infrastructure look like? Is there a space for exchange between data providers and users? This discussion will examine the current state of the Turkish (open) data scene, drawing on experiences from Germany and the methodical approach of the German Open Data Ranking.

Comments are closed.

For one week in May, come together to share ideas, discuss solutions, and commit to new levels of citizen participation in government.

15 Years of the Open Government Partnership

OGP Logo

Fifteen years ago, OGP launched with a simple but radical premise: that government should serve the people, not the other way around. Over fifteen years, OGP has become the foremost global forum for advancing transparency, accountability, and public participation in government.

In an era of democratic regression and geopolitical fragmentation, platforms that sustain targeted collaborations among likeminded states and between governments and civil society are strategically vital. OGP is one of the few to endure.

The next phase requires action across the partnership: Governments forming cross-border coalitions to address common priorities; political leaders integrating openness into core national agendas; donors and funders sustaining investment and enabling scale; civil society continuing to propose, push, monitor, and demand.

The question ahead is scale and commitment.
